Scrooge was a miser. His money was his life. Then, one Christmas
Eve, Scrooge received a trio of visitors who showed him not only
the true meaning of Christmas, but the true meaning of life.
Morrissey’s painting depicts London, circa 1843, when Dickens
first published the story. The offices of Scrooge and Marley
are in fact the pub in the city where Dickens reportedly did
a great deal of writing. As Scrooge leaves for home on that fateful
Christmas Eve he seemingly heads away from the light and joy
of the holiday represented by both the carolers and a Father
Christmas further down the street. Yet, these are actually his
first steps towards redemption. This is a piece art destined
to become one of your family’s Christmas heirlooms and holiday
traditions. |
